Three stories feature transgender characters, and two explore how nationality and language barriers interact with sexual orientation. Cart's six-page introduction declares the theme of the anthology to be "what it might mean to be gay, lesbian, or transgender." The introduction introduces each author, briefly describes their story entry, and provides a very brief note about how the story confronts the concept of sexual identity. The anthology contains an introduction by editor Michael Cart, and the 12 stories. ![]()
